Which works best-a cassette or an FM tuner to use my Ipod in my car?

The cassette will typically give you better sound quality. The transfer of sound is more direct than the fm transmitter which has to send the music through radio waves. From personal experience with this cassette it produced notably clearer sound than the fm transmitter I was using previously.

Depends where you live. I live in LA and finding an empty radio station is annoying and I constantly would have to set the fm tuner to another station. This particular cassette player didn't work in my car 96 Mazda Miata, but it works fine in my Mom's 99 Acura so I gave it to her. Cassette player works fine its just a matter of finding one that works for your car. As for sound quality I'd say the cassette is better as well as stations will constantly interrupt your music.

I bought this specifically because it doesn't need an audio jack in the car. All you need is a car that can pick up FM radio signals. Then just plug the device in and play whatever you feel like listening to. (This device plugs into 2 places. The cigarette lighter for power, and into your music player for input. It's just a standard 3.5mm socket. Identical to the type used for earphones.)

If you have an auxilliary jack on your car stereo system, you can play any portible mp3 player on your car stereo. You just plug one end of the cord into the headphone jack of your player and the other end into the auxilliary jack of your car stereo. Then you set your car stereo to AUX. My husband had this kind of stereo installed in my truck for me. Works great! I can listen to anything that's on my mp3 player and not have to carry CD's around.

Every mp3 player works in the car. Where is the point of the question? If you have a radio with the Cassette, simply buy a cassette adapter, and with 5 dollars you can listen your mp3 player in through yor autoradio. If you have an AUX port in your radio, buy a cord with two males connectors ( probably 3 dollars and radioshack ) and voila' ... you can listen your music in your car. Isn't that simple?

I called the Satechi Co, to ask specifically about a FM Receiver that would work with iPod, and this does an exceptional job! They may have a certain one that works better with iPhone, if you call them. It works best away from populations with lots of radio stations.

IF your vehicle has the AUX input jack (unlikely) OR (and this is what most people miss) your 99 Honda Accord has a cassette tape player. If you have that cassette tape player than you need 2 additional items: 1) a cassette adapter (this goes into your cassette tape player and you can then take the 3.5 mm output jack and plug it into a mp3 or some other device) and 2) you need a 3.5mm female to 3.5 mm female adapter. You plug the 3.5 mm output jack from the Kinivo and the cassette adapter into the female to female adapter and that makes the connection. You now have the audio from the Kinivo playing through the stereo system on an older vehicle that does not have an AUX jack.

It is not about the car, it is more about your stereo's ability to play cassette tapes in general. If your car can play cassette tapes then this will definitely work!

If you plug in the 'dongle' thing to the side, you should be able to turn on the FM mod and use it in the car.It uses that as an 'antenna' to broadcast to your FM radio.

You can control it through both but mainly through the iPod or iPhone. There is limited functionality through the cars radio. I can advance songs on a playlist and skip around but it does not show me what is playing.

I don't know that this has been an issue for me. I think as long as you have your device plugged in it just goes on and on and on. It may not be necessary but maybe your car cassette player has a thing for this. I hope this helps because I love the way this has worked.

I have an older car stereo cd player. Will this thing play over an unused radio frequency similar to an ipod?

Your best bet is to use the iSimple IS77PRO Universal Audio Input Interface which helps you make the most of your mobile devices and your vehicle's sound system. You can use it with any factory or aftermarket car audio receiver to enjoy your favorite playlists from your MP3 player over your vehicle's speakers. It transmits stereo audio from external audio sources to your FM radio. It also transmits video from video-capable iPods, iPhones and iPads. A wireless remote is also included for convenient volume and channel adjustments. It also provides 2.1A of power to charge compatible devices.
